Getting on board with themes
14 Oct 2015
A few weeks back I saw this article from Jared Spool in my twitter feed - and the timing was eerily perfect. We were in the midst of re-examining what it was we were doing for our client and why. The roadmap we had originally created had shifted and morphed and when all was said and done, there we were with a "map" but the idea of where we were going, our focus, got hazy. To most, it just looked like a bunch of feature changes.
Building a roadmap is challenging. You know the least amount you will know at the beginning, and that is when your team (and your client) want to know what it is you plan to do and how much will it take. Historically, we've tried different approaches to make this more efficient and realistic for us and our clients. But at the end of the day, roadmaps tend to just look like a big list of features, a bunch of "stuff" that we are going to do. In the background, it's all intentional and tied to the needs we've so far determined, but it doesn't make the picture clearer. The idea of identifying the themes to focus our discussion and solutions is one I'm willing to try. It may not be the only answer for roadmaps and project scope, but if anything - it's the place to start.

Ember 2.x has been released
13 Aug 2015
Yehuda Katz has announced the new major release of Ember.JS. Unlike typical major releases, they are using this major release as an opportunity to remove features (see Release Notes) that have been deprecated as of Ember 1.13. We appreciate the Ember team's mindful philosophy toward releases (and providing long-term support in a sensible manner). It definitely helps teams like us out.
